Configuration Assistant
The Configuration Assistant, which was first introduced in v4.0, is a voice guided configuration
portal that provides easy-to-use, remote access to the following end-user phone configuration
options:
 Dynamic Extension Express (previously known as Personal Call Routing)
 Do-Not-Disturb (DND)
 Call Forwarding
 Meet-Me Conferencing (added in v5.0)
 Administrator Functions
When a call is placed to Configuration Assistant, the caller is prompted for a station extension
number and passcode (i.e., the Remote Programming numeric passcode assigned to the
extension). Once the station extension number and passcode are authenticated, the caller is
presented with the options listed above.
The administrator functions option, which is presented only if the authenticated extension is
identified as a designated administrator, allows the caller to change the system’s night ring
status. (There are currently no other administrator functions available in the current software
release.) When this option is selected, Configuration first states whether night ring is enabled or
not (e.g., “Night ring is enabled”) and then offers the following administrator functions:
o Enable night ring (only if night ring is currently disabled)
o Disable night ring (only if night ring is currently enabled)
Refer to the latest phone user guide for your particular model of phone for complete instructions
on accessing Configuration Assistant and following the voice prompts to perform the desired
configuration options.
NOTE
Although the original Remote Programming feature is still available, Configuration
Assistant is easier to access and use.
